Fantasy football fans better watch out. It looks like Romeo Doubs could be a dream pick in the late rounds amid his rise with the Green Bay Packers and growing friendship with Aaron Rodgers. With Davante Adams gone, Rodgers is searching for his next top target in Green Bay. While Doubs is only a rookie […]

The San Francisco 49ers are more than ready to move on from former starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and into the Trey Lance era, but Packers legend and Hall-of-Fame QB Brett Favre believes the Niners are making a big mistake by getting rid of Jimmy G. “I would go with Garoppolo,” Favre told The 33rd Team […]

Sammy Watkins is moving from an offense run by Lamar Jackson to one that is orchestrated by Aaron Rodgers.  That doesn’t sound bad at all. It also appears that Watkins believes that his ceiling gets higher with the Green Bay Packers than when he was playing with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs because […]

Dallas Cowboys fans were holding their breath last week when news surfaced that Pro Bowl wide receiver CeeDee Lamb injured his foot away from the team.

Following the departure of Davante Adams this offseason, there has been some speculation as to who Aaron Rodgers’ top target on the Green Bay Packers will be in 2022.

The Panthers were dealt a massive blow last week when rookie quarterback Matt Corral suffered a season-ending Lisfranc tear to his foot in Carolina’s 20-10 loss to the New England Patriots. The injury to the Ole Miss product was so severe that Corral underwent surgery on Tuesday to fix the Lisfranc tear, according to NFL […]

Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo’s time with the San Francisco 49ers could finally be coming to an end. The team fully transitioned to second-year quarterback Trey Lance this offseason. This all but guaranteed that they would move on from Garoppolo and the $24M he is owed this season. But up to this point, the 49ers’ front office […]

Regardless of how well the Washington Commanders perform this year, their starting lineup likely will have a different look to it than last season. With Carson Wentz taking over as their starting QB, players like Antonio Gibson and Curtis Samuel could be incredibly volatile this season. Both Gibson and Samuel look to be on the […]

The NFL season is right around the corner and each team has set its sights on making the necessary roster adjustments ahead of this. One of the interesting storylines surrounding the Baltimore Ravens has been the status of running back Gus Edwards. The 27-year-old suffered a non-contact ACL tear during practice last season which caused […]

The Los Angeles Chargers were dealt a big blow when big-money free-agent acquisition J.C. Jackson went down with an injury.

The San Francisco 49ers continue to prepare for their Week 1 tilt with the Chicago Bears on September 11th, but they’ve been going throughout training camp without running back Elijah Mitchell. He’s still dealing with a hamstring injury after also undergoing a clean-up procedure on his knee in the offseason. But, it appears Trey Lance […]

The Las Vegas Raiders’ 2022 season could be a season of marked improvement. Derek Carr has some new weapons on offense, specifically Davante Adams, and a new coaching regime, led by Josh McDaniels, to help him and the Raiders take the next forward this season. The Raiders have been in the news a lot lately, […]

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has been taken aback by the Las Vegas Raiders’ relatively new facilities in Vegas.

This is the Taj […]

The Indianapolis Colts are up against the clock when it comes to star linebacker Shaq Leonard. Leonard is still recovering from offseason back surgery, and the Colts will have to decide whether or not to place him on the PUP list ahead of the regular season. Of course, if Leonard does land on PUP, he’ll […]

The 2021 season started a new era for the Detroit Lions. The team traded away longtime starting quarterback Matthew Stafford and immediately saw him win a Super Bowl ring with the Los Angeles Rams. Now, with Jared Goff under center, the Lions will try to break the streak of not winning a playoff game since […]

The Tennessee Titans had a strong 2021 regular season. The team clinched the AFC South and finished No. 1 in the AFC. Still, the Titans were unable to replicate their performance in the postseason, losing 19-16 in the Divisional Round to the Cincinnati Bengals. Without winning a playoff game since 2019, Tennessee might have to […]

The Green Bay Packers are in the process of widdling down the squad ahead of final 53-man roster cuts. In doing so, the Packers managed to get a bit of value back for a player who didn’t figure to play a big role in 2022. According to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky, the Packers have agreed to […]

The Carolina Panthers are hoping for a turnaround in 2022. Matt Rhule’s squad started out strong at 3-0, but quickly fell apart to finish 5-12. Carolina lost its final seven games and Rhule’s coaching came under massive scrutiny. As a rebuilding team, the Panthers had a relatively modest offseason. Carolina’s biggest move this offseason was […]

The Detroit Lions have high hopes for their offense heading into the 2022 season. After struggling to open the 2021 season, they finally found some consistency with Jared Goff under center to close out the campaign. Replicating that consistency over a full 17 game season is going to be key if Detroit intends on improving […]

The Seattle Seahawks don’t figure to be contenders in 2022. That’s putting it nicely, which is something CBS Sports NFL analyst Adam Schein didn’t care to do when divulging his thoughts on Pete Carroll’s team ahead of the 2022 campaign. During a Tuesday morning segment of Time to Schein on CBS, Schein ruthlessly roasted the Seahawks, […]

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell recently shared an interesting quote. Many people in this world want to come off as intelligent. However, Campbell believes it is an advantage if opponents think he is dumb, per Pro Football Talk. “It doesn’t bother me,” Campbell said. “If you’re an opponent, the dumber you think I am, […]

Though most of their starters did not play, the New York Jets’ 24-16 preseason win against the Atlanta Falcons on Monday was still important for the coaches to assess players on the bubble, whether that be positioning on the depth chart or battling for a roster spot. The Jets did not play 15 of their […]

The Washington Commanders are heading into the 2022 season with a lot of excitement. They may finally have a consistent option at quarterback in Carson Wentz, and they have an up-and-coming defense that should only continue to improve in 2022. One of the guys who figures to play a big role in their defense for […]

There do not seem to be high expectations surrounding the Chicago Bears this year. The franchise went 6-11 last season and underwent a great deal of turnover in the offseason. This will be the first season with new Head Coach Matt Eberflus at the helm. The biggest reason for optimism is that Justin Fields will […]

The Cincinnati Bengals are coming off an incredibly impressive season in which they exceeded all expectations set for them. In Joe Burrow’s second season in the NFL, and his first full season of being healthy, the Bengals went 10-7 and managed to make it all the way to the Super Bowl. This is a clear […]

The much-anticipated 2022 NFL season is just a few short weeks away. The upcoming season will be full of excitement, and arguably no team is more excited than the Buffalo Bills. Following two straight AFC East titles, the Bills enter the new campaign as favorites for their first Lombardi Trophy. Even with the season just […]

The Las Vegas Raiders have been spotless through three games in the 2022 NFL preseason, but that’s not going to make head coach Josh McDaniels feel as though he’s got it all figured out. After all, the Raiders have barely played their starters in those games. A good test for the Raiders is coming up, […]

Despite neither being directly affiliated with the NFL right now, UFC president Dana White and ex-Buccaneers and Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski sent shockwaves among football circles recently. The two were vocal on the nearly successful push for Tom Brady to join the Las Vegas Raiders two seasons – before the whole thing got torpedoed […]

The 2022 NFL season is viewed as a make-or-break campaign for New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, so he is going to need the best from the team’s receiving corps. That group includes wide receiver Sterling Shepard, who might just be ready to roll and help Jones right from the get-go of the upcoming season, […]

The 2022 season will feature a new-look Green Bay Packers team. Star quarterback Aaron Rodgers is back after questions about his future lingered early on in the offseason, but his top target Davante Adams is gone. That will significantly change the dynamic of the Packers offense and how successful Rodgers is in 2022. The turnover […]

It’s been two years now since Julian Edelman decided that it was time for him to walk away from football for good as a player. But like many athletes who retired before him, there is always that itch to come back and see whether he’s still got what it takes to make an impact on […]

For every team each preseason, a surprise player seemingly comes out of nowhere to either push for a roster spot or even make their way onto the 53-man roster entering the regular season. Lil’Jordan Humphrey is that player for the New England Patriots this preseason. The fourth-year wide receiver has stood out in both of New […]

Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals are gearing up for their defense of the AFC crown. One of the biggest pieces of last season’s puzzle was star safety Jessie Bates, who has thus far been away from the team as training camp and preseason are underway. Jessie Bates was designated as the Bengals’ franchise tag […]

The Atlanta Falcons had a forgettable Monday, thanks to a disastrous performance on the field that resulted in a 24-16 road loss to the New York Jets. While it’s just a preseason game, the Falcons failed to provide an overall positive impression on head coach Arthur Smith, who did not hold back when he spoke about […]

It was a rather interesting offseason for the Las Vegas Raiders. The Silver and Black started off free agency by doing virtually nothing. In the allotted 48-hours where tampering is legalized to kickoff free agency, cornerback Darius Phillips was the only player who the Raiders agreed to terms with. Then, things changed – and they […]

The Los Angeles Chargers are going to be one of the most fun and exciting teams to watch as the 2022 NFL season kicks off.

In only 20 days, the Jacksonville Jaguars will play their opening game of the 2022 season against the Washington Commanders. The Jaguars must put their best players on the field in less than three weeks and hope that the spring and summer spent assembling the best possible roster will bear fruit. Having said that, the […]

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell has a massive personality. That personality has brought a renewed sense of energy to the Lions organization and its fan base. However, Monday was an uncharacteristic day for the Lions head coach. He was at practice, but he was the only coach there. Campbell allowed his players to run […]

The Atlanta Falcons failed to build on their momentum following a 27-23 win over the Detroit Lions in Week 1 of the 2022 NFL preseason, as they sustained a 24-16 loss Monday night at the hands of the New York Jets. The Falcons played so poorly, particularly in the second half of the Jets game, […]
